I can´t add a librery tape backup

Check the device configuration on all device hosts for configured robots, and specify a robot number that is not already in use. Use the following command to display all devices in the EMM database:

 tpconfig -emm_dev_list

Please show us output of the following commands on the new media server:

tpconfig -l

scan

(commands are in <install-path>\veritas\volmgr\bin)

If you are trying to re-add a robot that was previously added, you will need to delete the previously added robot first. Delete the tape drives as well and restart NBU Device Manager service to ensure entries are removed from EMM.

Any reason why you are trying to add devices manually instead of using Device Config wizard?

HI NBU.

I try to assign other device number and gives me the same error code 22 in 21 see

Correct Robot number:

Steps:

1- I first install the new robot tape backup.
2- The wizard not acknowledged one drive. This drive are bad connected.
3- I delete that new configuration for add the drive again and see the two drives but i not see the robot.

I first use the device wizard. the device wizard see the robot but its not added. Then now add the tape library manually.

Prints:

 

 

 

Result:

Robot not added

 

Drives good added

 

Thanks Marianne

 

 

'scan' on the new media server is not showing any devices? No robot and no tape drives?

Something is wrong here.
Can you see the robot and tape drives in Device Manager?

tpconfig shows that the robot (TLD(2)) and drives have been added, this is why you cannot add the same robot as another number.

Device Config Wizard says the following about the robot:

State - Unconfigured.
Limitations - Yes, see properties

Have you clicked on Properties?

We need to see what the 'Limitations' are reported by the Device Config wizard.

As long as 'scan' do not see the robot or tape drives, do not even try to config devices in NBU.

1- 'scan' on the new media server is not showing any devices? No robot and no tape drives?

Scan only show : SDT_TAPE   &  SDT_CHANGER

2- Can you see the robot and tape drives in Device Manager?

In Device Manager only see the two news drives.

In my first installation, in device manager I can see the new Robot and one drive, the ohter drive has a problem and it showed gray. I solved this problem changing the SAS cable. Then I delete all because I can´t add the second drive.

Now I can add the two drives but I can´t add the Robot. Is veeeeery rare!!!

 

3- Have you clicked on Properties?

Yes.

Label Robot:

Label SCSI:

Last Label:

 

Thanks

Seems your problem is with physical connectivity.

It looks like changing the SAS cable did not solve the problem because the robot (medium changer) is now not seen in Device Manager.

Consult your hardware documentation for SAS card and the library documentation or contact your library support team for assistance.

Only when Device Manager and 'scan' can see the robot and tape drives correctly, proceed with NBU configuration.

Ok. Now review the physical installation

Thanks.
